If you're even mildly into the cosplay scene you must know who she is and the scope of her abilities to not just produce some of the grooviest and amazing outfits but her modelling prowess when it comes to showing them off at shows and photoshoots.
So if you've never heard of her before consider youself now educated and go follow her work here on DA, on Facebook via her fanpage:
Riddle's Messy Wardrobeand I'm pretty sure she's on Twitter too. My thanks go out to Riki for being an inspiration and sharing her great work.
Creating art digitally versus traditionally is one of those silly discussions that won't be resolved unless the lights go out forever or we stop being able to create pencils and paper and ink. Until then as long as you don't use it as a crutch for every single aspect of your art then a digital medium is just another tool to make you a better, more well-rounded artist. Don't listen to the old fart ramblings like I tend to spout but instead understand the tool you're using. I've seen digital art that looks traditional and traditional art that looks digital but in the end it's all art.
Just know your tools. Be proficient with them individually and as a whole and always remember: Don't over-specialize because you'll breed in weakness. You know what you need to do.
